Thechief feature of the invention consists in the formation of theboiler by the addition of a peripheral deflector secured to the sidewall of the boiler adjacent the removable cover mounting and extendinginwardly and upwardly within said boiler for deflecting the boilingfluid from the cover connection thereby permitting the boiler to beheated at a greater rate than heretoforepossible without overboiling.

The full nature of the invention will be understood from theaccompanying drawings and the following specification and.

claim: v

Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of the invention. Fig. 2 is a similarview of a modifled form of the invention, the cover being removed. I

In the drawings 10 indicates the bottom of a boiler connected to whichis a side wall 11 having the beaded mouth 12 and the usual supportinghandles 13. A cover 141- is provided with a handle 15 and the coverincludes the telescoping peripheral flange 16 and the lateral peripheralflange 17 for forming a relatively tight joint.

The invention claimed is:

A boiler having a side wall and a selfdraining baffling ledge comprisinga reversely. curved deflector portion arranged peripherally around theside wall in spaced relation to the top of the side wall, the lower andbattle portion being inwardly and upwardly directed and the upper ledgeportion being inwardly and downwardly directed with the junction of saidportions at an ap preciable distance from the Wallwithin the boiler. y
